Looking for fun kindergarten money and time activities? This set includes hands-on math centers and worksheets to help children practice recognizing coins, understanding coin values, and telling time.
The money activities introduce pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. The telling time activities focus primarily on clocks showing the hour, with a few opportunities to sort clocks showing the hour and half hour.
Use the centers for small groups, math rotations, or extra practice.
For children ready for more challenging coin activities, see our advanced money worksheets.
Practice coin identification, counting, and comparing values with these six hands-on kindergarten money centers.
Spin the spinner, identify the coin, and cover the matching value. A simple way to reinforce coin recognition and value.
Build an ice cream sundae and work out its price one coin at a time. This pretend-shop activity adds a playful way to count money.
Sort coins by appearance and value. Add real or pretend coins and small piggy banks for extra fine motor practice.
Use coins to pretend to shop for items. This center gives children who are ready for more a chance to practice paying for purchases.
Practice simple coin subtraction with amounts under ten, with some optional skip-counting by fives, tens, and twenty-fives.
Compare the values of single coins and simple coin combinations using cupcake-themed cards.
This unit combines money centers with six telling time activities, giving children two important early math skills to practice.
Sort clocks into those showing the hour and those showing the half hour.
Complete missing numbers on clock faces to practice number order through twelve, then read the time if ready.
Roll playdough into clock hands and show the time on each card.
Use the schedule cards to put animals at their correct turn times, combining clock practice with taking turns.
Match analog and digital times, adding toy numbers or other manipulatives for hands-on practice.
Move the hands on the bug-themed clock to match the time shown on each card.
These kindergarten money worksheets give children additional practice identifying coins from both sides and learning values from pennies through quarters. Use them for morning work, math centers, or independent review.
The telling time worksheets include reading analog clocks, matching digital and analog times, and drawing clock hands to show the hour. A few pages also help children distinguish the hour from the half hour.
Keep a few of the hands-on centers ready for math rotations, or laminate selected worksheet pages and pair them with dry-erase markers for reusable practice. Real coins, play coins, number tiles, and movable clock hands can give children another way to show what they know.
Thanks for checking out these money and time worksheets and centers! I hope they make practicing these early math skills a little easier and a lot more fun in your classroom.
